Introducing a Work Measured Incentive Scheme: Practical Application of Change Strategies

This paper is an attempt to relate some of the aspects of change strategy theory to the introduction of a group work measured incentive scheme and maintenance planning scheme, for a works engineering department of some 30 staff and 220 skilled and semi‐skilled craftsmen in the heavy manufacturing process industry. Because the situation reviewed was fairly specific, being confined to one department within a factory, the paper is oriented more towards specific means of achieving change rather than the broad sweeping concepts.
